UPDATE : IT HAS BEEN 8 DAYS NOW. 8 DAYS. I have tried reaching out to British Airways through every way possible. Calls, Emails, Social Media, Customer relations - NO RESPONSE. All i get is, "we are sorry and we will get back to you" British Airways going legal now. ___________________________________________________________________ Never used LinkedIn for this, but after 100 attempts to connect with British Airways everywhere, I had to resort to this unfortunately. British Airways, this situation is beyond frustrating and unacceptable. Our bags have been missing for 4 days, and despite countless emails, phone calls, and messages to customer service, we have received no tracking information or communication. The customer service response has been disheartening, with comments like, “System not working, can’t help.” This isn't just about one person—our entire group of friends traveling for a special event has been affected. Our travel plans have been severely disrupted, and we have had to incur substantial costs in replacing essential items. We were promised our bags would be delivered 2 days ago, but there has been no progress. To make matters worse, we’ve been told "very casually" that it may take another 24 hours, but even that is uncertain. We are desperately seeking a resolution and need this issue to be escalated immediately. @British_Airways, we need your urgent intervention to locate our bags and provide a clear update on when we can expect them. This experience has been incredibly disappointing and stressful for our entire group. Your prompt attention to this matter would be greatly appreciated. #britishairways #lostluggage #customerservice #helpneeded #urgentresponse Laurie Keita René de Groot Mark Loch Olivia Henley Sean Doyle Calum Laming

This is a message to Scott Kirby, CEO of United Airlines. The last three days have been sheer hell due to you ineptness of your airline. You managed to lose my bag three times in three days. The contents of the bag were very important and unfortunately large enough that I could not carry on the aircraft. The fact that your customer service is overseas and the right hand doesn’t know what the left-hand is doing is absurd. I had to go to San Francisco airport at 3 o’clock in the morning to pick up my bag or was going to be delivered, the problem with that was I was leaving in the morning before the bag could be delivered to my hotel. Got to the airport at 3 o’clock in the morning and lo and behold they couldn’t find the bag yet again! The lost bag lineup at the times was at least 75 to 100 deep which speaks volumes in itself. I’m not sure what you’re doing at your airline. I appreciate your issues and you handle millions of bags but your customer service sucks, The fact that your customer service overseas misleads people, basically doesn’t know what the hell is going on except it if it’s on the screen. Your poor customer service speaks volumes of your complete lack of respect of your passengers. I’ve been a loyal United customer for years. The fact that I’ve been so abused as a customer with a little to no respect is really irksome and incredibly disappointing. You’re probably never read this. But I want others to know how badly your airline treats people, and how it misleads people and how it doesn’t seem to be able to handle issues very well AND how your customer service which takes hours to get through, to is incredibly poor. Treating your customers poorly it’s not good customer relations. All the PR in the world doesn’t make up for abusing your customers.

My Career Experience, Achievement And Impact As A Customer Service Representative. I started my career as a Customer Service Representative (CSR) with Air Peace Limited. As a Rep with the airline industry, I faced unique sets of challenges which were really demanding and stressful. One of the primary challenges I faced then, just like every other rep is managing the emotional demands of dealing with frustrated and upset customers, often in high-pressure situations as a result of flight delays or cancellations. Secondly, navigating complex airline policies and procedures while still providing personalized support to each passenger involves brainstorming, this is where I applied emotional intelligence coupled with professionalism. I must balance the needs of multiple stakeholders, including passengers, airline staff, and management, often with competing priorities and interests. This can lead to conflicting demands and difficult decisions but I sail through with the help of the fore-knowledge of customer service. Lastly, we often work long hours, including nights, weekends, and holidays, which can impact work-life balance and overall well-being, but thank God for the two to three days stretch off days...😄😄 Despite these challenges, I played a vital role in ensuring passenger satisfaction and loyalty, and my dedication, interpersonal relationship and expertise are essential to the success of the airline. My Achievement As A Rep: - I was able to exceed customer satisfaction targets, achieved a 95%+ positive feedback rating from passengers - Successfully resolved complex customer complaints, resulting in a 25% reduction in escalated issues - I developed and implemented process improvements, increasing efficiency by at least 25% and reducing wait times by at least 10% - I trained and mentored new team members, contributing to at least 45% increase in team productivity - Was recognized and featured in the customer service day for outstanding service and dedication to passenger experience. My Impact: - I improved customer loyalty and retention, resulting in increased repeat business and positive word-of-mouth - Enhanced the airline's reputation for exceptional customer service, contributing to at least a 10% increase in customer base. - Contributed to a significant reduction in customer complaints and issues, resulting in cost savings and improved resource allocation - Inspired and motivated team members to strive for excellence in customer service, fostering a positive and supportive work environment - Played a key role in shaping the airline's customer service strategy, influencing policies and procedures to prioritize passenger experience. #CustomerService #CustomerRetention #ProductSpecialist

I recently experienced a highly disappointing incident with Air Mauritius that I feel compelled to share. The airline cancelled my flight at the last minute, leaving me stranded and causing significant inconvenience. This cancellation not only disrupted my plans but also led to financial loss, as I had already booked and paid for accommodation. Furthermore, my interaction with Air Mauritius customer service was disheartening. The representative I spoke to showed a lack of empathy and understanding, even suggesting that I try catching a flight at 17:10, which was clearly impractical given the time constraints. As a frequent flyer with Air Mauritius, I have always valued their service. However, this experience has left me deeply disappointed. I believe that such incidents reflect poorly on the airline and its commitment to customer satisfaction. 𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐝𝐢𝐝 𝐀𝐢𝐫 𝐌𝐚𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐮𝐬 𝐟𝐚𝐢𝐥? The airline's cancellation policy and communication with customers are areas that need immediate attention. In situations like this, proactive communication and assistance in finding alternative solutions are crucial. The lack of empathy and understanding from the customer service representative further exacerbated the situation. Air Mauritius should be treating customers with respect and understanding, especially in challenging situations such as flight cancellations. Transparency and clear communication are key. The airline should have informed customers promptly and offered assistance in rebooking or finding alternative travel arrangements. Additionally, customer service representatives should be trained to handle such situations with empathy and professionalism. I respectfully urge Charles Cartier, the newly appointed CEO of Air Mauritius, to look into this matter. It is imperative that steps are taken to improve customer service and prevent such incidents from occurring in the future. Air Mauritius has always been my airline of choice, and I hope to see improvements that will restore my confidence in its services!

*Very long post alert* This is to share my harrowing experience with MakeMyTrip while trying to reschedule my flight to USA due to an illness. Please note that I do not expect any resolution from their social media team anymore. I already spent 570+ minutes on call with MMT customer care. This is just a PSA for my connections.  I had booked a ticket for January 3 2024, 8.00 pm from Kolkata to Chicago via Delhi. I requested an open ticket on January 1 which was resolved on January 2, 10.58 am with a mail from MMT explicitly saying that I will only have to pay the fare difference if I rebook within one year. Cut to January 12 morning. I was told that I need to pay the no-show fee of 22500 and the fare difference. When I referred to the email sent to me, a customer service manager assured that as they have made the commitment, the fee is their responsibility and not mine. Shortly after, I received a call from another agent at ~10.30pm who collected the fare difference and assured me that I will receive the ticket within 6 hours. After multiple followups throughout January 13, the same agent sent an email at 5.00 pm that my issue is stuck with Air India Limited (unpurging of PNR) and will be resolved within 24 to 'maximum' 48 hours. I called up MMT multiple times once 24 hours were up for follow up, again without resolution. After several calls on January 14 and 15, I received an email on January 16, 01.46 am that I need to pay the same 22500 no-show fee. He also mentioned that the no show fee is applicable if the ticket status change requests are made less than 24 hours from the time of departure. If you remember the timeline at the beginning of my painfully long post, I already had on record that my open ticket request confirmation was outside this window. When I replied back saying the same with proof at 4.30 am (I unfortunately fell asleep. Perhaps I was supposed to be awake.) and requested a call back. At 5.44 am I received another mail from the same agent that as the airline says it was a no show, I need to pay up if I want to travel and completely ignored my call back request. I reiterated my points when I reverted back at 6.10 am saying that I am ready to pay if he can prove that the no-show was somehow my fault and responsibility and again requested a call back. I was ghosted again. The issue is still open, and I still hope some well meaning, responsibile MMT officer will help me get my ticket. It is extremely urgent that I travel on the intended date.  But this is something one needs to be prepared to face if something goes wrong with your travel plan. I would rather book directly from airlines from now on, and will not try to save some hard earnt money through coupons and offers from the third party agents. Thank you from the bottom of my heart if you have had the patience to read through.

Is it me, or are the automated customer service replies just getting more and more infuriating? Better to remain silent and appear a fool then to speak and remove all doubt? Example #1 CLEAR sent me a survey on how they were doing. I replied that they weren't doing very well because they were routinely taking longer than regular TSA PreCheck -- or in some cases, their personnel were actually directing us to NOT use their service because of the extreme backup. Their response: "Thank you for contacting CLEAR! I can assure that there must've been a misunderstanding. We do pride ourselves in delivering awesome customer service to all members. Please allow me to inform you of what TSA has to offer. TSA has partnered with Clear. TSA is available for non Clear members & Clear Plus members, you can join as a Clear Plus member as well!" Example #2 I contacted American Airlines because their web page (and subsequent call to reservations) couldn't handle a travel voucher issue. Their response: "Thank you for contacting Customer Relations. Our Reservations team will be happy to assist you with your concern. They can be reached 24 hours, 7 days a week through Chat at aa.com/chatnow." I responded, advised them that Reservations could not help me, and asked for help in resolving the overcharge. Their second response was worse than the first: "Please accept my sincere apologies for the experience you've described. One of our top priorities is to make our customers the focus of all we do, and your feedback underscores this commitment. We will make your insights available to our leadership team to ensure you receive the world-class customer experience you've come to expect and deserve during your next journey with us. I'm thankful for the chance to review your feedback. On behalf of everyone at American Airlines, thank you for flying with us. We look forward to welcoming you back on board soon."

flynas As a frequent traveler who values flexibility and efficiency, my recent experience with Flynas Airlines left me deeply disappointed. Having booked a ticket with the airline and subsequently needing to make changes to my travel plans, I found myself caught in a frustrating loop of unresponsive customer support and malfunctioning communication channels. The crux of my issue lay in the inability to modify my booking through the airline's website, despite repeated attempts well in advance of my travel date. With just one week remaining before my intended departure, I diligently sought assistance through Flynas' contact center. However, my efforts were thwarted by an IVR system that seemed more inclined to test my patience than connect me with a live agent. Undeterred, I decided to seek help in person at the nearest Flynas franchise office, only to be met with the same response: "Contact the contact center." It became abundantly clear that there was a glaring discrepancy between the promises of assistance and the reality of the situation. Resorting to email communication as a last resort, I reached out to Flynas in hopes of finding a resolution to my dilemma. Regrettably, the responses I received were nothing short of frustratingly repetitive, each one directing me back to the malfunctioning contact center that had proven to be more of a hindrance than a help. What was most disheartening about this experience was the lack of accountability and empathy demonstrated by Flynas' customer support team. Instead of acknowledging the systemic issues plaguing their communication channels, they chose to deflect responsibility and offer little more than scripted responses that did nothing to address my concerns. In an industry where customer satisfaction and loyalty are paramount, Flynas Airlines fell short of expectations. The inability to provide timely and effective support when needed most not only tarnished the brand's reputation but also left a lasting impression of frustration and disillusionment. Moving forward, I can only hope that Flynas takes proactive steps to rectify these shortcomings and prioritize the needs of its customers. Until then, I cannot in good conscience recommend Flynas Airlines to fellow travelers who value reliability and responsive customer service.
